Starting at the top is my first time at the gym for a little while. Was doing well (with a partner) then a situation did not allow me to go to the gym.

This is my first attempt at making a workout regimen for myself. I understand it's a lot. I typically leave the gym with lower self esteem than when I go in, and that's okay with me. I am typically very sore for several days afterward, which I enjoy. Makes me feel like I'm actually doing something.

I've been talking to a friend of mine (A bodybuilder, she got her "Pro Card" this summer) about doing figure competitions. She told me that she suggested it this summer and "I do believe you laughed at me".

I understand it's going to take a lot of time, but any guidance would be spectacular!

Ultimately, even if the figure thing ends up not working out, I just want to be healthy.

Oh... and maybe go to the gym and not get "Aww, look there's a girl here. Cuuute." looks anymore... Like it's somewhere I don't belong... Or when I tell my family I've been lifting, they'll stop laughing about it.

Today was my "do what you hate" day. I am not a fan of abs or cardio and I am horrible about stretching. Though I do have a hard roller at home that I use once it doesn't hurt to touch (usually quads) muscles. But this is very irregular. Classes are free with my gym membership, so I figured I'd give yoga a go. It wasn't as bad as I thought. However I was probably the only one under 60...
